Master Bread Dough Recipe

This is a great master recipe to use because you can turn it into many different options. You can bake it as a bread loaf, rolls, or even breadsticks! You can also add extra flavoring as you desire.—Fleischmann's Yeast

SOFT HERB BREADSTICKS: (use half of dough): Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; roll each into a 15-in. rope. Twist each rope several times if desired. Place on two greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until risen slightly, about 10-20 minutes. Lightly beat 1 egg white; brush over breadsticks. Sprinkle with herbs or herb blends such as oregano, dill weed or Italian herb seasoning. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until done. Remove from sheets; let cool on wire rack.Yield: 1 dozen.
